Mori ta, talking with Vernon Scott, wondered how viewers would take an Asian hero. He describes his Mr. T as a sort of inept swinger, a genius Inventor who somehow just misses when he tries to blend Into American culture. While his kids take to American Ufe right away-rock music, hot dogs and apple pie, "Mr. T would Uke to hang In there with the samurai code and keep women In their place, but he can't handle It." The incongruity of the situation provides 'the show's humor.

Morita said there are no ra­cial messages or subtle pleas for social j \l~ tice. "We show­ed the pilot to a lot of Japa­nese here In Los Angeles . .. and they loved It. They fell down laughing. Then we had friends from J apan look at It and they cracked up," he told Scott. .

Another TV critic, Clark Secrest, in the Denver Post saw an early pilot of th is se­ries which he fe lt might not be shown thanldully. "It was awkward, didn' t flow and wasn't very funny . With luck, the series will Improve," he commented . Morita admitted to him that tbe new series "may be sticking its neck out a little bit" and may ir ritate traditional ist J apanese Amer­icans who will disapprove ot the enti re gamut of stereo­types whleh will be a part of the show.

But ethnic humor has never really bothered Morita .He was \>lIIed os lhe "Hlp Nip" In his .arly nightclub days. He also has a pp ear~ d on the NBC­TV "Lough-In", TV commer­cials nod IIlms.

On Being a Registered Voter ow that the two major political parties have noml·

nated their candidatEs for President and Vice Pres· ident of the United States while the hoopla of the ' Bicentennial ripples through the rest of this year, It comes down to what role the individual voter has.

The Japamse American Citizens League, a nonparti· san organization, makes no choice but does urge its mEmbers are re~tered to vote. The franchise , prac· ticallv spealong, IS the "people's ability to control their governm~ nt"-3 concept that shaped this Nation 200 years ago through.a system of r~presentative respon· sibility and separation of powers 10 the three branches of government, the executive, lEgislative and judicia\.

Within this framework, liberty and equality are a continuing heritage of American democratic theory that rEcognizes majority rule and minority rights. This speaks to par ticipatory pluralism and participatory dEmocracy at the polls. Participatory pluralism marks the role of such organizatlons as JACL in shaping pub­lic policy and ratified by participatory democracy at the polls.

PC's $160,000 Budget Delegates at the recent National JACL Convention

at Sacramento were informed that postal and press· work rates affecting this paper would go up ~fore the end of the JACL fiscal year, which is Sept. 30.

Postage for 2nd Class went up the first week of July a whopping 30%, the biggest we have had to sus· tain Based upon our current averaee circulation of 23.000 copies, the cost jumps from $371 to $4B6 per 4-page issue or close to $6,000 more per year.

The first week of September, presswork will go ur around 15% to absorb recmt increases in the cost o newsprint and labor.

These are all in line with the $160,000 PC budgef projected for FY 1977-7B. The PC budget, of course, IS also counting on some $45,000 In advertising, $13,· 500 in nonmember subscriptions and additional mis· cellaneous income so that about '60,000 can be gen· erated.

Assuming there are about 20,000 JACL subscribers, the remainder of the $100,000 in the PC budl!et can be figured at $5 per JACL subscription from FY 1977. EIther we step u'p the advertisinl! campaign through the chapters or divert program dollars from the memo bership to the above member suhscription rate-which is $1.25 more than what It Is now.

The National JACL Executive Committee, which will be m!eting in a couple weeks, will need to keep their pencils sharpened as they review the new budget for the coming biennium.

And it's a blast.-a riotous two acler set In Harry's NIseI Bar and Grill where mem­bers ot the Hawaiian and Ja­pan e s e American Hfioatine: wcrld,t congregate to act out their brave and blustery IIv.s. The city Is Chicago; the story cc ncerns Harry. his niece Col­leen, and hIs bar and grill, a baven tor the Japanese Amer­' can set who do nrt have the church bazaars, Lit'tJe Leagues, the Rotary Club to gIve llIean­ing to their lives. They exist on shop-worn dreams.

In the name ot progress, Harry sells his b u I I dIn It (which includes hIs bar and grill) to a company that plans to demoUsh it and build a glossy auto showroom. Harry's patrons and tenants protest their evIction; they say he has nol tought for them, that he Is abandoning hIs "family". Harry Is not moved.

He has accommodated thIs crowd long enough; he's had it wIth thelr tired dreams. H. wants to give the money trom the sale ($50,000) to Colleen so she can leave thIs envIron­ment. go to Hawaii and live a more wholesome life. Colleen resents hIs manipulations; she sides with the tenants. Event­ually all is resolved as Colleen takes lbe money to relocate the "NIseI Bar and Grill" to another site.

Plain Speaking QUIET AND CALM OF AUGUST

August in Washington. D.C. is a period of time in wlllch quiet and calm characterizes this city.

However, August can only be considered the calm before the storm. because, after August there will be considerabl~ change in the Federal City for the next six months.
